Smuggler Artur Granz and Yatsenyuk’s associate are robbing Ukraine during the war

I’m analyzing the statistics of the hellish schemes of Duty Free shops with cigarettes and I want to end your day with an interesting figure.

The sole winner in the tobacco competition among Duty Free shops during the war is businessman Artur Granz and, as they say, his partner MP Andriy Ivanchuk.

Granz is officially the beneficiary of the shop LLC "Duty Free Trading" at the Porubne-Siret checkpoint, which "sold" 4,252,700 packs of cigarettes in 2022.

According to cash receipts, each customer on average bought 25 packs of cigarettes.

It seems that Ukrainian women and their children (since men are not allowed to leave) refused to eat and drink just to get into this wonder shop and buy 2.5 blocks of cigarettes.

Other shops of Granz didn’t lag behind, providing over 10,000,000 packs sold in a year, but we’ll leave the details for later.

The guys work well, right? That’s what monopolists do.

Yes, Chernivtsi region, where the "Porubne-Siret" point is located, is a home region for the "People’s Front" and the border has always been controlled by people connected to this political force.

Therefore, it’s not surprising that Grants’ partner Ivanchuk is a member of the "People’s Front".
